* It sounded like a good idea at the time: The Stills are already working on a follow-up album to their acclaimed Oceans Will Rise… and possibly eating “hallucinogenic trail mix” while doing so. FTW.
* Nick Jonas has testified in front of the U.S Senate hearing on funding for Juvenille Diabetes Research. The hilarious part: a woman in the courtroom fainted (probably with excitement) during Jonas’ speech. Diabetes is not really the sort of thing that gets my heart pounding, guys.
* Jonathan Rhys Meyers, I mean Henry VIII punched an airport waiter and got arrested! Oh royalty, will you never learn?
* While there’s still no word about deets for Ontario and Alberta’s Virgin Festivals for this year, Baltimore (in Maryland, USA) is getting a FREE V-Fest with Franz Ferdinand and Weezer headlining. I hate Baltimore SO much.
* If you’re a little behind the times (like we are), you should know that Chris Brown is pleading guilty to assault charges. That’s positive, right?
* Good news about your time machine: you’re not gonna need it if you wanted to be around for the release of a Heart album. But um… they’re also releasing a kids book, which could make things a little weird.
* First the 90’s come back to haunt us, now the 80’s are doing it too: Frankie Goes to Hollywood (you knoooow) is gonna release a Best Of album. S.O.S!

* Virgin Festival organizers have announced which five Canadian provinces (up from last year’s two) will play host to V-Fest installments this year. Which is pretty vague. Perhaps they fail to realize how BIG our provinces are…
* More Festival News! Line ups for Music Waste’s festival in Vancouver, and a summary of the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest line up in, uh, Ottawa, the Oxegen Festival line up in Ireland, the T in the Park festival line up in Scotland, and the Heineken Open’er Festival line up in Poland, of all places. I <3 the Summer Concert Season SO MUCH.
* 17 years later... SNL alum Jimmy Fallon finally gets his college diploma. That’s some victory lap, alright.
* The Future is getting kinda scary. Think about this: a “Guitar Hero” concert tour, or what about a World of Warcraft movie? Talk about taking a good idea too far.
* Oh Oasis, always getting into trouble: this time with a sex turkey (?!)
* Good news: the Snoopy host of Dogg After Dark has been cleared of assault charges for allegedly beating a man who climbed onstage at one of his 2005 concerts. Confusing news: what does anyone need a brass knuckle microphone for?
